Gaussian Covariance Model

Description

gauss is a stationary isotropic covariance model. The corresponding covariance function only depends on the distance r ≥ 0 between two points and is given by

C(r)=e^{-r^2}.

Usage

gauss(x, derivative=0)

Arguments

Value

If derivative=0, the function value is returned, otherwise the derivativeth derivative.

A vector of length(x) is returned; nu is recycled; scaling is recycled if numerical.
